SWEEP SURFACE

 

Description: This function allows the user to create a surface via the selection of a section line and a direction line.  The surface is generated along the length of the direction line. 

 

                            

                       

      Usage:

              

1.   DSI prompts the user to select a sweep type:

>       SELECT SWEEP TYPE

NORMAL SWEEP

•            The section lines remain perpendicular to the line of direction.

RIGID SWEEP

•            The section lines remain parallel to the line of pattern.

 

2.   DSI prompts the user to select a line.

>      SELECT A LINE FOR THE SWEEP PATTERN

•      The selected line will act as a constant cross section for the new surface.

 

3.   Once the line has been selected, DSI prompts:

>      SELECT A LINE FOR THE SWEEP DIRECTION

•      The new surface will generate along the selected line and the user will return to step 2.
